> Base or "skeleton" application for Ruby on Rails 5.1 projects. Built to minimize the time spent writing boilerplate code and performing repetitive setup tasks.

Wasn't Rails 1.0 invented to solve this exact problem? A decade later and after 5 versions we are here?

Rails out of the box is ready to build a production ready project. These are for when developer preferences diverge from the out of the box rails defaults. I love RSpec and I always set that up when I start a new Rails/Ruby project. If you do consulting work, you definitely make new apps frequently and having your favorite things ready to go is a plus. Thoughtbot has a project called suspenders that includes their preferences for new apps.
